... to improve students' conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and likelihood of passing the course while preparing them for future courses. In order to achieve these goals within the course, formative assessment is essential. SCALE-UP showed success in accomplishing these goals through standardized...

... instructional ideas in addition to the research-based instructional strategy he sought to adopt. He also changed it quite a bit and did not have an in-depth understanding of the strategy (possibly because the philosophy was not made explicit by its developers). The instructor in the study was less successful...

... no explanation for why this is. The graphs shown in the article indicate that very good improvement was achieved on some questions, but many questions remained at a similar success rate as before intervention. Unfortunately, we could not find a more detailed report of this research in the literature. Young...

...). Furthermore, the resources and capital that these students bring to their classes and the success they experience often go ignored and/or undervalued ( Yosso, 2016 ; and Sabella et al., 2017 ). While research on the issue of inclusion and diversity has recently expanded in physics education research...

... of what is meant by thermal physics and discussion of themes, methodology, and findings. Some discussion will briefly touch upon work in adjacent fields. The bulk of the chapter is a successive examination of published studies of student understanding in the sequence of typical thermal physics courses...

... learning experiences, social persuasion experiences, and physiological state ( Bandura, 1994 ). Mastery experiences are important because successful completion of a task should have a strong positive influence on one's confidence to complete a similar task. Vicarious learning experiences occur when...

... ; and Novoselov et al., 2007 ). The success of quantum confinement further enthralled researchers to explore alternate 2D materials like boron nitride, transition metal dichalcogenides, germanene, phosphorene and bismuthine ( Geim and Grigorieva, 2013 ). 2D materials also provide a unique framework...

... learners and develop[ing] an identity as someone who knows about, uses, and sometimes contributes  to science” (emphasis added) ( National Research Council, 2009 ). That is to say, of importance to successful informal learning is the development of participant identity as a person who...

... and inspiring action among groups ( Thurs, 2015 , p. 212). What is needed is just the right balance between precision and vagueness. Viewed this way, the vagueness (or even non-existence) of a “scientific method” proper was the key to its success as a rhetorical tool. Or, as Thurs (2015 , p. 217) puts...

... Merriënboer, 1994 ). Worked examples Beyond step-by-step problem-solving strategies, other successful approaches focus solely on the initial problem description. Dufresne et al. (1992) implemented a computer-guided problem analysis tool, which led students through a principled problem description...

... and Lunetta, 2004 ). Although animation and simulations increase students' conceptual understanding and success in physics, they also positively influence their interest and motivation ( Tambade and Wagh, 2011 ). With the inclusion of technologies in the classroom environment, many studies have been conducted...

... insight and who therefore might influence the view of many others. To these belong, e.g., Dirac, not only stressing the success of mathematics as a whole but tracing it back to additional criteria, the simplicity and beauty of mathematics equations in physics as a criterion for applicability...

... of worksheets with a focus on students’ own ideas and not only the state-determined objectives. The research was deemed to be successful in that a greater number of students were able to construct significantly more scientifically acceptable answers about how animals or people can see and how light travels...

... with AIP Publishing (AIPP) to publish books. AIPP reviewed our proposal for The International Handbook of Physics Education Research and in July 2020, we signed a contract. Paula and I could be a successful team of co-editors once we set clear goals and plans, show strong leadership to achieve...

... and are at the same time very much influenced by the type of graph/diagram used and its visual characteristics. Their degree of formal reasoning development and their visual–spatial ability may also contribute to their success or problems in constructing and interpreting graphs and diagrams. As Carpenter and Shah...

AIPP reviewed our proposal for The International Handbook of Physics Education Research and in July 2020, we signed a contract. Paula and I could be a successful team of co-editors once we set clear goals and plans, show strong...

... and profession-wide capacity building that encourages sharing of research and good practices are two important considerations for successful professional learning ( Darling-Hammond, 2017 ). For more than thirty years in education research, teacher collaboration has been shown to enhance teacher professional...

... will be appreciated in the years to come. Paula and I could be a successful team of co-editors once we set clear goals and plans, show strong leadership to achieve those goals, fulfill our own tasks, and also help each other communicate openly, resolve emerging conflicts constructively, and feel that each one of us...

..., 2019 ; Stehle and Peters-Burton, 2019 ; and Widya et al., 2019 ). In addition to the skills needed for student success, the challenge of making physics attractive to a broader segment of the population remains an issue for the physics community. There are many different ideas about...
